My Rating:
Goodreads Summary: The Competition: Outlandishly wealthy Grandmother VanDemere has decided to leave her vast fortune to the family member who proves him or herself worthiest-by solving puzzles and riddles on a whirlwind race around the globe, from the mines of Venezuela to the castles of Scotland. There will be eight competitors, three continents . . . and a prize worth millions.
The Players:
Seventeen-year-old Avery is the black sheep of the VanDemere clan, the ostracized illegitimate daughter. Finally, she has a chance to prove herself . . . and to discover the truth about her long-lost mother.
Marshall might be Avery's uncle, but there's no love lost between the two of them. He's her main competition, and he'll do anything to win-including betray his own children.
Riley is the handsome son of Grandmother VanDemere's lawyer. As the game progresses, Avery falls hard for Riley. Suddenly, losing the game might mean losing him, too.
As the competition takes treacherous turns, it becomes clear there can only be one victor. Who can Avery truly trust? And is winning worth her life?

It seems like this one was a very promising read with a lot of things I would like - especially when it comes to the mention of secrets! I hadn't heard of this one before either, so thank you for introducing it to me!
ReplyDeleteI think you should give it a try! It was a very unique and fun book! More people should read it. :D
DeleteOkay I loved National Treasure and that cover!!! You've convinced me. I MUST read this book now ;) Great review!
ReplyDeleteThen I agree, you MUST read this!!!
DeleteThis sounds great! I'll definitely have to give it a try! :)
ReplyDeleteYou really should. :D
DeleteI've seen this in my library's ebook system. It was taken out that last time I was there, but I'll definitely order it now that I know you loved it! The competition is something only a wealthy person would write in their will. You gave no hints with Avery and Riley which is so mean!
ReplyDeleteHehehehe I guess you will just have to read this to find out. ;)
DeleteI know some people had problems with the believability of this one but I didn't care - not when it was SO MUCH FUN. So glad you read this and loved it too!
ReplyDeleteI'm so very thankful that I ended up reading this. :D I guess I understand that but I also don't because how believable is National Treasure... and I LOVE that movie too.
